Shame really. I don't know why teams accept doing Real's dirty work. If I was a side and I'd signed a Real player, I'd want a fairly big buy back clause if he had intentions of going back to Real, not these small fees Real stick in them.

Duffen and Brown aren't the brightest, but even they wouldn't do that.

I know what you're saying, but teams clearly agree to this. Maybe it's an agreement that you accept the small buy back clause or you don't sign the player.

I like Negredo as a player, it's just unfortunate that there are so many quality attacking options to choose from at Madrid. RVN, Raul, Benzema, Higuain, Ronaldo even Kaka. There is just no chance of Negredo playing even at least half the games for Madrid this season it's best if he goes else where for his own good. If I were him I'd be looking at signing for Roma imo.

there stupid enough to pay 5m for a player that only played 25 mins last season

Just remembered, Weren't Hull linked with Royston Drenthe last season maybe on loan from Real?

What's the chances of them going for him again seeing as it looks as though maybe all the Dutch players may be on their way out of the Bernabeau. I'd like to see Sneijder stay at Madrid out of the rest of them. I can't see him starting with a midfield consisting of Robben, Kaka, Ronaldo, Lass and Alonso.

I just can't see how madrids midfield will line up this season unless they go with one upfront. But then theres going to be atleast 3 unhappy strikers p.ssed at not starting.

if they went with one i'd be looking at

-------Lass----------Alonso---------

Ronaldo-------Kaka-------Robben

--------------Benzema

Ferdinand and Gareth Barry looked shaky last night, I think Villa must be laughing at what they got off City for him.

Didnt see it, but I'm told that Barry and the English midfield were outplayed by the Dutch defensive midfielder, Nigel something or other?

Nah, I decided half way through last season that I couldn't possibly renew this season. I've become a member and I'm just gunna apply for certain games I think.

On the bright side at least we might be able to cover one of the interest payments this year.
